Rosetta Cucchi’s production, well filmed by Matteo Ricchetti, moves the action to 20th-century Connecticut. When, exactly? One clue is that Suzel dances around with her headphones attached to what looks like a Walkman cassette player. ... Salome Jicia strikes just the right note as Suzel: an ingénue who is no stranger to profound feelings. When she is in despair towards the end, at ‘Non mi resta che il pianto’, Cucchi has neighbours passing by clutching umbrellas, suggesting that the heavens are weeping too: corny, perhaps, but touching. Charles Castronovo makes an admirably lyrical Fritz, with real steel in his voice when provoked by David, a part taken with bluff good humour by Massimo Cavalletti. ... Riccardo Frizza controls the ebb and flow in masterly fashion. The whole thing is very nicely done.
